BEFoRE operating your slideout system:
• Check that you have sufficient power available.
• Level and stabilize the RV.
• Leveling helps to keep the RV square, enabling the slideouts to extend, retract, and seal
correctly.
• If the RV is NOT level, the slideout rooms and/or mechanisms may become damaged.
• The slideout rooms DO NOT need additional support. Non-warranty damage can occur
from improper use of aftermarket support jacks.

SLIDEoUT oPERATIoN

It is normal for the slide rooms to make creaking or squeaking noises while moving. These
noises are especially common during the break-in period while the components are seating
properly. This will decrease after a few extend/retract cycles. Note that there will always be
some noticeable noises when operating the slideout.
1. ALWAYS level and stabilize the RV, BEFoRE operating your slideout system.
2. Check that your auxiliary battery is fully charged or the RV is connected to shore
power. Turn off all unnecessary lights to maximize available power.
3. Close all cabinet doors and drawers.
4. BEFORE extending or retracting:
• Check that the interior path of the slideout room is clear of people, pets, furni-
ture, clothing, etc.
• Check that the exterior path of the slideout room is free from any obstructions.
NoTE: While the slideout room is extended, the roof of the slideout room may collect
dirt and debris. The slideout seals are not designed to remove the debris.
When you retract the slideout, any debris on the outside of the room, is brought
•
inside your RV.
5. Inspect the sides, top and bottom of the extended slide-out room. If the outside of
the slideout room is wet, wipe it dry before retracting.
